West systems/platform staff laid off 11/07/2018

There you have it. Just in case you may think your job is safe if you're working on something important at this place... Think again. They no longer care what you're working on. If you feel like a number, that number will soon be 0.

Targeted Layoffs

At least one office saw a targeted layoff today. One team saw the last remaining member eliminated, effectively terminating the team completely.
